RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Summary: In accordance with the 

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

which provides opportunity for public 

comment on new or revised data 

collections, the Railroad Retirement 

Board (RRB) will publish periodic 

summaries of proposed data collections. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed information collection is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information has practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of the information; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden related to 

the collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Title and purpose of information 

collection: Investigation of Claim for 

Possible Days of Employment; OMB 

3220–0196. Under Section 1(k) of the 

Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act 

(RUIA), unemployment and sickness 

benefits are not payable for any day 

with respect to which remuneration is 

payable or accrues to the claimant. Also 

Section 4(a–1) of the RUIA provides that 

unemployment or sickness benefits are 

not payable for any day the claimant 

receives the same benefits under any 

law other than the RUIA. Under 

Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) 

regulations, 20 CFR 322.4(a), a 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 36 / Friday, February 23, 2007 / Notices 8207 

claimant’s certification or statement on 

an RRB provided claim form that he or 

she did not work on any day claimed 

and did not receive income such as 

vacation pay or pay for time lost shall 

constitute sufficient evidence unless 

there is conflicting evidence. Further, 

under 20 CFR 322.4(b), when there is a 

question raised as to whether or not 

remuneration is payable or has accrued 

to a claimant with respect to a claimed 

day or days, investigation shall be made 

with a view to obtaining information 

sufficient for a finding. 

Form ID–5S(SUP), Report of Cases for 

Which All Days Were Claimed During a 

Month Credited Per an Adjustment 

Report, collects required information 

about compensation credited to an 

employee during a period when the 

employee claimed either unemployment 

or sickness benefits from a railroad 

employer. The request is generated as a 

result of a computer match that 

compares data which is maintained in 

the RRB’s RUIA Benefit Payment file 

with data maintained in the RRB’s 

records of service. The ID–5S(SUP) is 

generated annually when the computer 

match indicates that an employee(s) of 

the railroad employer was paid 

unemployment or sickness benefits for 

every day in one or more months for 

which creditable compensation was 

adjusted due to the receipt of a report 

of creditable compensation adjustment 

(RRB FORM BA–4, OMB Approved 

3220–0008) from their railroad 

employer. 

The computer generated Form ID–

5S(SUP) includes pertinent identifying 

information, the BA–4 adjustment 

process date and the claimed months in 

question. Space is provided on the 

report for the employer’s use in 

supplying the information requested in 

the computer generated transmittal 

letter, Form ID–5S, which accompanies 

the report. To our knowledge no other 

agency uses forms similar to Form ID–

5S(SUP). Completion is voluntary. One 

response is requested of each 

respondent. The RRB estimates that 80 

responses are received annually. The 

RRB proposes non-burden impacting 

editorial changes to Form ID–5S(SUP) 

and Form ID–5S. 

Additional Information or Comments: 

To request more information or to 

obtain a copy of the information 

collection justification, forms, and/or 

supporting material, please call the RRB 

Clearance Officer at (312) 751–3363 or 

send an e-mail request to 

Charles.Mierzwa@RRB.GOV. Comments 

regarding the information collection 

should be addressed to Ronald J. 

Hodapp, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 

North Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 

60611–2092 or send an e-mail to 

Ronald.Hodapp@RRB.GOV. Written 

comments should be received within 60 

days of this notice.

COMMISSION 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon written request, copies available 

from: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Filings and 

Information Services, Washington, DC 

20549. 

Extension: Rule 15c3–1f, SEC File No. 270–

440, OMB Control No. 3235–0496. 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for approval of extension on the 

following rule: 17 CFR 240.15c3–1f 

(Appendix F to Rule 15c3–1 

(‘‘Appendix F’’)). 

Appendix F requires a broker-dealer 

choosing to register, upon Commission 

approval, as an OTC derivative dealer to 

develop and maintain an internal risk 

management system based on Value-atRisk (‘‘VAR’’) models. Appendix F also 

requires the OTC derivatives dealer to 

notify Commission staff of the system 

and of certain other periodic 

information including when the VAR 

model deviates from the actual 

performance of the OTC derivatives 

dealer’s portfolio. It is anticipated that 

five (5) broker-dealers will spend 1,000 

hours per year complying with 

Appendix F. The total burden is 

estimated to be approximately 5,000 

hours. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication.
